Incorporating G. persica into the diets of Persian sturgeon led to increased levels of total carotenoids, blood indices, immune functions, and protein/lysozyme activity in the skin mucus of the fish.
Algal seaweeds have abundant amounts of active substances and can be used as pharmaceuticals and biomedicals in aquafeeds. In this context, the powder of red macroalgae Gracilaria persica was included in the diets of Persian sturgeon at the rate of 0, 2.5, 5, and 10 g/kg to investigate its role on the growth rate, fillet colouration, haemato-biochemical indices, serum, and skin mucus immunity. The weight gain, SGR, and FCR displayed no significant changes in fish fed varying levels of G. persica (P > 0.05). The level of total carotenoids was significantly higher in the blood and fillet of fish fed 5 and 10 g G. persica/kg diet (P < 0.05). Dietary G. persica significantly altered RBCs, VVBCs, and HCT at 5, and 10 g/kg, whereas the Hb was increased in fish fed 5 g/kg (P < 0.05). The blood total protein and albumin were significantly increased in fish fed 5 and 10 g/kg (P < 0.05). No significant alterations were observed on ALT, AST, ALP, and glucose levels of fish fed varying levels of G. persica (P > 0.05). Serum Ig, lysozyme, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and respiratory burst activities were increased in fish fed 5, and 10 g/kg than fish fed 0 and 2.5 g/kg diet (P < 0.05). The level of total protein and lysozyme activity in the skin mucus were significantly higher in the blood and fillet of fish fed 5, and 10 g G. persica/kg diet than fish fed 0 and 2.5 g/kg (P < 0.05). Based on the obtained results, G. persica can be used as a feasible feed additive in the diets of Persian sturgeon at 5-10 g/kg diet.
